1960 Borgward Isabella

At 64 years of age, this Isabella Coupé is in great condition. Finished in red with a white top over a matching fabric interior, she shows very well. These are rare and hard to find vehicles and are nice additions to a collector's stable.

This vehicle is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four engine equipped with a single carburetor that feeds "through the head" instead of a standard manifold. The carburetor sits atop the enclosed intake manifold, incorporated in the valve cover that features two removable rocker covers for valve adjustments. The overhead valves are incorporated within an aluminum head atop a cast iron cylinder block that features a three-bearing crank. The engine runs great and is paired with a column-shifted 4-speed manual transmission that transmission operates just as smoothly.

Many people will see the styling of this car as a "mix" of other cars, but the prominent "Isabella" diamond logo on the grille is unique and sets it apart from anything else.
